As always we don’t seem to be in the hunt for any big name players .. what is it about our club yet you hear cats, pies, even the saints seem to be in the hunt 

wtf are you talking about

this year we were near certs to get houston - the best player looking to move clubs by some margin - until such a time as our season collapsed in on itself

there's not that many 'big names' looking to move clubs; in truth, there rarely is

you said "As always we don’t seem to be in the hunt for any big name players"

except we are, virtually every year

just posting rubbish

 

Could the Dees put an offer to Deven Robertson.  He’s under contract at Lions but with Lions having Neale, McCluggage, Rayner, Berry & Will Ashcroft, and adding Levi Ashcroft and Sam Marshall, he’s unlikely to get a consistent run in their midfield.   
 

At 23, Dees might see a spot for him.  He’s physically ready and tackles strangely.  We need a defensive type mid with good aerobic run.  Trac and Clarry got exposed this year on defensive clearance work.  Dees might also want to Trac to play forward/mid rotation.

I will rephrase it who have we landed in  the last 3 seasons that’s improved our list?

Was reported that he is looking to get to WA

No.

We have a defensive mid already in Sparrow.

Robertson is an absolute ball butcher and would be a terrible pick up.

We need to improve our disposal out of the middle, Robertson takes it in the other direction

All our starting mids are better kicks than Robertson.

Players who could arrive

Herald Sun journalist Jon Ralph has also recently said the Demons could try and lure Leek Aleer, who has struggled to cement a place in Adam Kingsley’s best side, while the Demons could be a landing spot for departing Geelong premiership player Brandan Parfitt.

Freo will never have more picks. It'd be a tough pill to swallow but if this is gonna rear it's head every 12 months it might be time.

If your Fremantle you would be doing everything possible to get him. They already have a very talented team, underachieved big time this year. Get KP and Bolton and they should seriously be challenging next year. 
 

I hope he stays though.

Serious question. He has ties to both WA and SA, and has been linked to both states. He has a 5 month old baby now which puts a different slant on things, as many of us will appreciate.  He has stated he's homesick, but where is home?  If he states either/or, I would be less sympathetic.


Any clown that suggests Pickett should go to Freo are that CLOWNS! He's a Melbourne player and always will be can't let him go then we will truly be [censored] same with Trac had a disagreement it happens. He will be a Melbourne player.

Pick 5 and Kosi Pickett for Harley Reid is the bigger thinking idea we should be absolutely chasing if Kozi wants to leave.

 

Or if [censored] hits the fan, something along the lines of a following trade, but feel free to rearrange it as suits each team:

Carlton get Petracca

WCE get Pickett and Carltons pick 11, F1 and 29 

We get Harley Reid and Carltons Future 1st  Carltons Pick 29

Edit: WCE would want more so crossed out.

There is simply no way the Eagles let Reid go unless he is bashing down the door to get out, which if he is, isn't being reported.

This 'pie in the sky' idea would have to mean we've been in his ear all year, and he wants out but hasn't told anyone, I do agree with you there. 

Edit: Just saying we absolutely have to chase something big if we will ever entertain trading Pickett or Tracc this year!

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
